solar power

whats up everybody is there any way I can run this light of solar power

MARS HYDRO TSW 2000 FULL SPECTRUM 300W DIMMING LED GROW LIGHT

yes

Solar panels + batteries + inverter

That light would literally cost $5-$10 a month to run, it’ll cost you probably near $1k to set up solar system to run it

You forgot charge controller.

Cut out center and hang outside

Sorry no
Sadly it’s not economically feasible

@OP
Here I'm paying 0.17-0.18 kw/h so it'd be even more. A proper solar system would cost you $2000-3000.

Per/run each fixture is going to cost you around $60-80 depending on veg time and you can expect a yield of ~3 to 6 ounces with each TSW-2000.

Instead of doing solar just for your lights which is not really economical. Just add solar to the whole home. You will save money on your electricity bill, be part of the solution for the world and cover your growing needs.

I have worked in solar for a long time. This path is feasible.

I have a small solar setup for my grow space, but I don't use it to run my main lights, I just use it to power ventilation of the lung room and a cloning light. It's just a 200watt panel, connected to two 12v marine batteries, and a charge controller. I only use it to power 12v dc stuff, so the intake ventilation and the led clone light are both 12v input. I learned quickly how much power gets lost when you bring an inverter into the equation, and try to step it up to 120v AC.
